Package: live-helper Version: 1.0~a38-1 Tags: patch When including files in the binary image which have strange characters in them (I think even spaces, but certainly quotes), lh_binary_md5sum chokes due to xargs parsing those characters. The problematic line is
find . -type f | sort | grep -v 'isolinux/isolinux.bin' | grep
-v 'boot/grub/stage2_eltorito' | xargs -I{} md5sum "{}" >
../md5sum.txt
The error message (when having files with quotes) suggests using the -0
option. This is a good idea, but needs '\0'-separated fields. So the
line becomes:
find . -type f | sort | grep -v 'isolinux/isolinux.bin' | grep
-v 'boot/grub/stage2_eltorito' | while read file ; do echo -en
"$file\0" ; done | xargs -0 -I{} md5sum "{}" > ../md5sum.txt
I'm not entirely sure if there're bashisms in there, but I don't think
so. I tested this (with bash) and it can indeed handle files with
spaces and quotes in their names.
Thanks,
Bas
